Lasagna originated in the Middle Ages in the Campania region of Southern Italy. While today it is a quintessential Italian dish, it was originally created as an art piece to celebrate Campania's vibrant history. A struggling artist both emotionally and financially, Cola di Petrarch was unable to afford art supplies. As such, he filled a box with recurring layers of sheet pasta, meat and cheese.

When asked by the curator what his piece represented, he claimed the mush illustrated the final moments of the city of Pompeii, and that the layers, now and indiscernible mess, was a medically accurate depiction of what would have happened to the citizens after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Disgusted by the insensitive nature of his work, Cola di Petrarch was shunned from the art community. While it is unknown how lasagna made the transition from art to food, it is theorized that the penniless artist may have been forced to eat his art to survive.

Today, lasagna is seen as a celebration of Italian culture and remains popular around the globe.
